"the sec fours are leaving soon.i don't want them to go, especially JIAYING <3.by then,there will be no jiaying to brighten up my every single day, no vanessa to lead us for ballet warmups, no sharon to yell at us, no jiayuan to collect our money, no helen for the funny moments, no yunning for her pestering for us to clean the studio, no joanne for her lovely grins, no meisiew for her scary thin-ness, no xueen for her sensible-ness and finally no jiayi for her coolness.
SIGH.we've just gotten to know them and bond with them, and now, in a matter of months, they're leaving us.just think of it.nymd will be so wierd without them."in response to dear nicole's post, nicole! ur post is making me so depressed ): hmm. sec four life is only left with a few months more to go. sometimes i want wish time would freeze. it seems just like only yesterday when we stepped into the impressive building of nygh. when the psgls lead us up to our sec one classrooms. when we look everywhere and find unfamiliar faces staring just as blankly back at you. but as time passes, we got to know one another. my lower secondary life spent as a niner, was unforgettable. no doubt there were quarrels, conflicts etc etc. we did had a lot of fun. but just when the class spirit and all was at its highest peak, sec3 came. we had to split. we cried and all, but we moved on. so off we go to our new classes. new combinations, new classmates new teachers. different people different stuff we face, different pathways leading to different lives. 303-oh-five. a entire new class with a great variety of people. we feared, we hated, but now we love. 403-oh-six. no doubt one very unique class. never gotten praised at being good and all by teachers. more than enough bad stuff we hear about ourselves, but this is what make us unique. and what makes 403 so memorable. it isnt just a typical goodygoody class. it has
character. we do what we want. we try our best. sometimes we just couldnt meet all expectations. but mrs soh said, LOOK TO CREDIT. we tried afterall. we are happy. at least we are happy(: thats what matters.
it seems like not long ago, the very first time i set foot into the dance studio. from outside, it looks professional. but scary. and cold. ms chan trained us, with shoulder stands hundreds and crunches and this sort. with technique classes. when she told us she had to leave, we cried. mr raj came. with an entirely different style. the first time he came, all of us were so scared. we dreaded him. if i dont remember wrongly we did attempt asking ms yeo to change an instructor. LUCKILY SHE DIDNT. he was the one, who taught us everything. not only about dance, but about life as well. he taught us what matters in a dance. how important it is to let the audience enjoy watching you. what we learnt in the studio, so so precious. his scoldings were no doubt, memorable too. making us do pumpings and more pumpings. screaming shouting making people cry. but it was thru all that that we learnt. the past few days and weeks, i go around blog surfing. and i find dancers' blogs filled with memories and love for HFOS. our first ever dance production, brought us all together as one. those nights, we did our bestest best. we gave it all. those nights, we shined.
we made magic. each and every single one of us. the unity and togetherness felt was overwhelming. but all good things come to an end. the curtain closed, on us. on the big lovely hat. im sure it must be something really really wonderful which can make us think about it every now and then and make us miss it(: it's something we will never forget. it made a big difference in all our lives. although it has been months since the production, all dancers would like to relive every single moment of it. every single moment on the stage(: the memory always lives on. no doubt, when we leave, we will bring the precious precious memories of HFOS with us, everywhere we go. motivating us. reminding us there's always nymd. i cant imagine what will happen if i made a wrong choice then in sec one. where would i be now? i wouldnt have known this lovely big family. my dancemates<333 the dance studio, so so pretty. our home. our sweat blood and tears. fun joy and much laughter. LOVE. juniors! please do treasure ur time here in nanyang and in nymd. contribute ur very best. do nymd proud(: and be proud to be a part of this lovely big family(: always remember us. the sec fours seniors will support all of you always ;D hmmm. also, like what mr raj says, for whatever you give to dance, it will repay you tenfolds ;D LOVE NYMD.
nicole!: I WILL MISS YOU DARLING. lets treasure the few months we have left! lovelovelove<3
